| 580695 | 2007-08-15 10:22:00 | For pete's sake, it is PC forum not a human rights march. :rolleyes:Lol, yeah I know, but I was just enjoying the randomness of the moment :D | Myth (110) | ||
| 580696 | 2007-08-15 10:56:00 | Righto, Feedback time, Seeing as by the first post thats what makes things happen. Marking the threads as done and dusted is the most irrelevant move I can think of, Due to the nature of PC problems the symptoms maybe able to be attributed to 100's of prospective issues, or maybe a red herring and in no way related to the real problem. In which case sometimes dozens of answers or suggestions are put forward, When trawling the net looking for info a person may find such a thread and start trying the various suggested fixes. There is no guarantee that the fix for them is the same one that worked for the thread starter, There is no guarantee that any of the fixes worked for the thread starter, So she was never marked as a "quality" thread yet may still contain more relevant info then the tagged threads. When looking for a fix in the past I have had Google throw up threads from Expert Exchange which marks threads as finished, Only a fool would ignore all the suggestions and go with the logic that what worked for the thread starter is the answer. If the crew at PC World want a nice orderly database of problems and suggested fixes then I suggest they write one, The info is all in the forums. Waving the finger at us non-paid contributers and suggesting we restrict ourselves to an answer and then just **** is..well...I covered that earlier. Looking at the bigger picture, Someone looking for currant info on an issue would be best served casting their net over the entire web via Google, and then asking a question on one of the forums if no fix is found, Google is a far better database of information then just this site. Having said all that, The Staff only pay lip service at best to the forum (as we can see by the clock) so the tagging,bagging and categorizing will never happen, This is just a directive to not chat in threads after some mythical peak has been reached. If it did happen, I'm pretty indifferent, It won't improve anything. Its great how it is. People ask.People answer. And I have been declared a hero. Woohoo. |

Good point . |

| 580699 | 2007-08-15 20:30:00 | Yeah, And it doesn't even make much sense. In short, The info is there even if the thread is tagged or not. And the relivant info maybe in a thread that has no tag , so whats the point? and in finishing, If it did happen, I'm pretty indifferent, It won't improve anything. Its great how it is. People ask.People answer. And I have been declared a hero. Woohoo. |

| 580700 | 2007-08-17 23:52:00 | The answer to jan's problem is simple . Automated response to all questions/problems . "Go and buy a new computer" Then have the forum sponsored by Microsoft and Dell . Then we will all go away and start a new forum . :cool: |

| 580703 | 2007-08-18 02:22:00 | woah, you guys sure are an eager little bunch, brilliant :thumbs: I think my original post might have been misinterpreted slightly, so let me quickly rephrase a few things . threads that have had its original question answered will not be locked . This was never the intention . (I'll refer to these as 'resolved' threads so we're all on the same page . ) I merely want you guys as users to avoid letting threads get out of hand . The PF1 forums are there to offer technical help, and you guys are quite possibly the largest and best group of people in the country to do just that . I think most of us want to avoid seeing what could be useful threads turned into personal attacks or unnecessary spam . Follow-up questions are of course encouraged and often very important to the possible solution to a problem . We are not running out of space, this is in no way an exercise to cut back on content here . The more threads answered, the bigger the knowledge base and the happier everyone will be . We will be looking to categorise resolved threads in the future, for easier access and reference to users . This is however not something we are currently doing, as we have a lot of projects going . hope this helps, I encourage anyone with questions or comments to keep posting them here . It appears to me that you actually delete posts that do not come up to your expectations . Keep going with your input . Look after the whole of PressF1 and ChatF1 . Keep going with Projects . May I ask, "What are you currently doing?" There are two places here . PressF1 and ChatF1 . We also have people who appear to use F1 as an excuse to push a barrow . Carry on . Have the day you deserve . |
